[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm not sure how anyone can visit the two US campuses (especially the athletic facilities) and conclude that SFS better embodies the Quaker value of simplicity. Certainly on environmental stewardship, it's indisputable that GDS has committed to transportation limitations with the ANC that SFS is currently unwilling to similarly commit/propose. Both schools are great, but I can't think of how SFS walks the walk of Quaker values in any meaningful way that GDS does not to at least an equal or greater degree.

My point is not to criticize SFS, but simply to note that it's absurd to suggest that GDS is anti-Quaker.[/quote]

You've totally missed the point of the anti-Quaker comment.  And the rest of your post just reinforces the perception that GDS-related posts are so ridiculous that they must come from a single troll.  Seriously, if that's the defense of these posts, then consider how dumb they appear to everyone else.[/quote]
Sometimes pointing out the truth isn't going to be popular. I'm sure the behavior of the SFS teacher who yelled at Scott Pruitt might be unpopular with a lot of people, but in that case, I applaud her courage for dropping a needed truth bomb.  [/quote]

Ok - so when people point things out about GDS, should they be called anti-Semitic?  That dissonance (that it's ok for GDS boosters to bash everyone, but anyone who criticizes GDS gets tarred) was the point of the anti-Quaker comment.   As you say, 'sometimes pointing out the truth isn't going to be popular'.  That's true, and it's also not anti-Semitic.[/quote]
